During this time, Zhao Ming remained in the dormitory to recover from his injuries. Xiao Wu had also asked for leave from their homeroom teacher, Liu Hai, to stay with Zhao Ming.
During this period, Director Su from the academic affairs office and homeroom teacher Liu Hai came to visit Zhao Ming, inquiring about the cause of his injuries. However, Zhao Ming managed to brush them off with a casual excuse.
At the moment, all the students from the seventh dormitory were in class, leaving only Xiao Wu and Zhao Ming alone in the dormitory.
Xiao Wu brought a basin of clean water and then prepared another basin of warm water, adjusting the temperature to just right.
These days, whenever the others from the dormitory were away, Xiao Wu would help Zhao Ming bathe.
Although Zhao Ming's injuries had improved considerably, he still couldn't manage to wash himself. The wounds on his back had scabbed over, but bending over would cause them to reopen.
Since his injury was on his back, Zhao Ming typically lay face down.
As Xiao Wu carefully wiped the areas of his back that weren't injured, she focused intently, feeling a pang of sadness. Even now, the sight of those horrific wounds was shocking to her.
After rinsing the cloth, she wrung it out slightly and began to carefully remove Zhao Ming's clothing, meticulously wiping him down.
Xiao Wu worked diligently, and Zhao Ming wasn't too dirty. However, the hot weather made it easy to sweat.
After wiping his back clean, Xiao Wu gently turned Zhao Ming over to start cleaning the front.
After washing the towel in warm water, she first wiped Zhao Ming's face, then his brows.
Once his face was clean, she moved down to his neck, then his chest, arms, armpits, abdomen, and waist. Under Xiao Wu's careful attention, his upper body was soon sparkling clean.
After all, she had already regarded Zhao Ming as her beloved.
Wiping her beloved wasn't a big deal at all.
Once she finished, Xiao Wu dressed Zhao Ming in freshly washed clothes.
"Xiao Wu, thank you for your hard work." After the cleaning, a thin sheen of sweat appeared on Xiao Wu's forehead, which touched Zhao Ming.
"If you think I've worked hard, then hurry up and get better," Xiao Wu said with a smile, making Zhao Ming momentarily speechless.
"Then I guess I'll just lay here. It's so comfortable being taken care of. Once I'm healed, I won't have this luxury anymore. If conditions allowed, I'd like to lie here for a few more days!" Zhao Ming teased half-jokingly.
"Always joking around," Xiao Wu blushed at Zhao Ming's words and playfully scolded him.
"I'm not joking. Our little Xiao Wu is so good at taking care of people at such a young age. Just wait until you grow up; it'll be even better!" Zhao Ming continued to tease.
But upon hearing Zhao Ming's words, Xiao Wu's expression dimmed.
"What's wrong?"
"Zhao Ming, um, I have something to tell you." After a moment of silence, Xiao Wu looked up, a serious expression on her face as she gazed at Zhao Ming.
"What is it?"
"I... I'm actually not human," Xiao Wu said nervously, her voice trembling, which Zhao Ming could clearly sense.
Hearing Xiao Wu's words shocked Zhao Ming. He hadn't expected her to reveal her identity so soon.
Looking into Zhao Ming's surprised eyes, Xiao Wu lowered her head, choking back tears. "Actually, I'm a soul beast, a ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. I'm a reincarnated ten-thousand-year soul beast, which is why I have the innate ability of full soul power."
"The one who prepared to kill me last time was also a Title Douluo. He discovered my identity," Xiao Wu continued to recount her story, tears streaming down her face.
"I didn't want to tell you. I was afraid you would despise me. I am ten thousand years older than you, and I'm a soul beast while you're human. We're not meant to be togetherโฆ" Xiao Wu rambled on, her gaze downcast.
This was the first time Zhao Ming had seen Xiao Wu like this. He realized she had developed a mental block.
Love can be humble.
When love reaches a certain level, it can make a person feel insecure.
For Xiao Wu, that was exactly the case. Although she was a ten-thousand-year soul beast, this identity frightened her, making her worry that Zhao Ming would distance himself from her because of it. At this point, she would rather give up her identity as a ten-thousand-year soul beast. As long as she could quietly stay by Zhao Ming's side, what did it matter if she were an ordinary person?
Grasping Xiao Wu's small hand firmly, he said, "Xiao Wu, I love you. I love you for who you are. It doesn't matter if you're human or beast, god or ghost. This love will never change."
"In this life, what I want in love is just you, one heart, wholeheartedly, for a lifetime. Just this, nothing more."
Zhao Ming stared deeply into Xiao Wu's eyes, speaking with deep emotion. Their gazes locked, causing Xiao Wu to shudder and quickly look away.
At the same time, the knot in her heart began to unravel.
"Hmph. I believe many things, but do you really think I'll believe you're wholeheartedly devoted? You think I would buy that?" With Zhao Ming's promise, Xiao Wu felt her mood lift.
Ah, women. One moment they're crying, and the nextโฆ
"Cough, cough," Zhao Ming chuckled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
"I've known from the start that you're a bit of a lecher. But, what can I say? I ended up falling for you. As long as you have a part of me in your heart, I'll be satisfied." Xiao Wu understood Zhao Ming's nature. Since she couldn't keep him all to herself, why not let go? That way, even if he had many women in the future, he would still feel the greatest guilt towards her, ensuring her place in his heart would never be low.
"I understand. You're not being a scoundrel; you just want to provide a warm home for all the beautiful girls in the world."
"Well said, well said. Xiao Wu, I'm head over heels for you!" Zhao Ming's face flushed with excitement. He had not expected Xiao Wu to have such an open heart. If he weren't so seriously injured and unable to move, he would have definitely held her tightly and showered her with affection.
